Hi, I usually fix the size of the figure when I produce it. I use rcparams below for a single column plot. This usually solves the problem. What you see is what you get in the final document if you use the same size of the figure as used to produce it.
def paper_single(): plt.rc('figure', figsize=(3.375,3.375)) plt.rc('figure.subplot', left=0.15, right=0.97, bottom=0.1, top=0.95) plt.rc('lines', linewidth=1.5) plt.rc('font', size=10.0) plt.rc('xtick', labelsize='small') plt.rc('ytick', labelsize='small') plt.rc('legend', fontsize='medium') Cheers, Chaitanya On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 5:25 PM, Paul Anton Letnes <paul.anton.let...@gmail.com> wrote: > Howdy y'all! > > I'm trying to make a publication quality plot for a two-column latex > article.
